Maple Leafs goal tending great Johnny Bower dead

Johnny Bower a two-time Vezina Trophy winner who helped the Maple Leafs win their last Stanley Cup championship in 1967, died on Tuesday. A statement from his family said the 93-year-old died after a short battle with pneumonia. “The entire Toronto Maple Leaf organization is deeply saddened following the passing of Johnny Bower,” read a statement from team president Brendan Shanahan. “The Toronto Maple Leafs, and our fans, are deeply indebted to Johnny for all that he gave to us, and taught us over the years.”

Bower, who became known as the China Wall, was happily playing in the minors in Cleveland when he was picked up by Toronto almost 50 years ago. He said he only showed up to avoid being suspended for not reporting.

Years after retiring, Bower remained one of the most beloved ex-Leafs.

Toronto honoured Bower on the occasion of his 90th birthday on Nov. 8, 2014, during a game against the New York Rangers, his first team. He was given a framed, autographed crest from each team and an enthusiastic rendition of “Happy Birthday” from the sellout crowd.
